Owner & Lead Therapist

Dawn-Petrice Youngs, Youngs Counseling, anxiety, depression, trauma counseling, therapy in Cypress, 77429, 77433, 77377

With over 20 years of counseling experience, I know therapy can be hard. Opening up about personal issues is often uncomfortable. I will walk you through the process with a kind heart and open mind. I believe identifying the underlying issue is a start to finding your own personal freedom.

I work best with adolescents and adults through individual therapy while using an integrative style of brain-based neuroscience informed treatment utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Systems, Psychodynamic, as well as Neurofeedback. Annddd, I would be most honored to work with you and/or your family members!

In an effort to provide the best service I can, I am no longer accepting insurance and considered an Out-of-Network provider. I made this decision to focus on YOU--YOUR story, your spouse, your exes, your children, your boss--and not burn out personally. YOU are important to me!

Offering Virtual Sessions in Oregon and Washington--After having several clients relocate to the West Coast during COVID for various reasons--job relocation or college--I found myself applying for out-of-state licensure. In the beginning, I attempted to help my clients search for and vet new therapists, but they struggled to find an environment where they felt safe to be themselves fully. They expressed feeling belittled when they shared different viewpoints. I didn't understand. As therapists, that's a fundamental basic of the job--to support differences and learn from them. These clients asked if I knew anything about counseling across state lines, so I begin to look into it. COVID opened the borders in most states so I could still see them across state lines legally, but then the state-of-emergency allowance ended. This prompted me looking into full licensure; I'm not one to risk practicing against the law, lol. The process wasn't too labor intensive or costly, so I did it. THEN on a much-needed break from the US and the drama of COVID, I found myself poolside in Mexico with several couples from Oregon and Washington... that's when it all made sense. I realized the experience wasn't isolated to my few clients. There's a need I didn't know existed, but one in which I can assist. Sooo, here I am.

 

If you're located in Oregon and/or Washington states and struggling to find a therapist with more conservative viewpoints, I'm here. I'll listen, support, and guide you through appropriate coping skills in order to respond to the world in which we now live.
